Engineering Design in a Mobile Makerspace

The Engineering Design Process Problem- and project- based learning Ask Imagine Plan (design) Create (build) Improve in a K-12 school context

The Engineering Design Process Ask Imagine Plan (design) Create (build) Improve What is the problem we’re trying to solve? What are the possible options to solve this problem? How are we going to work to solve the problem? What can we do? What materials do we need? Make the plan into reality! Does our design work? Can we make it better?

PROCESS of making Maker ideology puts emphasis on the process of creating and designing a product, rather than the product itself

Physical space in which to explore learn and invent A MakerSpace is…. physical location where people gather to share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network, and build. Makerspaces provide tools and space in a community environment.
